SOUTH DENNIS, Mass.--To celebrate Independence Day Devil’s Purse Brewing Company will release its Mandarina Table Beer in time for the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

The Mandarina Table Beer is the first limited release in Devil’s Purse’s series of seasonal styles.

“Our nation has a long and rich brewing tradition and we thought it would be a great way to enjoy our Independence Day by releasing a new beer,” said Matthew Belson, co-founder and brewer.

Devil’s Purse’s Mandarina Table beer is an easy drinking, thirst quenching, lower alcohol hoppy ale with 4.6% ABV and 35 IBUs. Warminster Floor Malted Maris Otter and Dingemens Pilsen provide the base malts. A pinch of Warrior hops is added for bittering followed by a whirlpool addition of Apollo and Ultra hops. The beer is then exclusively dry-hopped with an ample amount of Mandarina Bavaria from Germany. Mandarina Bavaria provides a pleasant fruity aroma with distinctive notes of tangerine and citrus.

“Mandarina Bavaria is such a wonderful aroma hop that we felt it would be a great addition to a summer table beer release,” said Michael Segerson, co-founder and brewer.

Quantities of Mandarina Bavaria Table Beer are limited but will be available for growler and Crowler fills at the brewery as well as on tap at select Cape Cod restaurants.
